The People’s Daily slams the U.S. for PRETENDING to be interested in democracy when it is really only trying to advance its STRATEGIC INTERESTS. For the United States, the commentary claims, a “‘democratic’ country is one that conducts its affairs in line with American interests.” The commentary ends by stating that “U.S. may enjoy the sweet taste of INTERFERING in other countries’ internal affairs, but on the issue of Hong Kong it stands LITTLE CHANCE of overcoming the determination of the Chinese government to maintain STABILITY AND PROSPERITY.” Although China has strongly implied that foreigners were secretly CONTROLING the Hong Kong protests in recent weeks, the commentary was the FIRST TIME it so EXPLICITLY ACCUSED the U.S. of being behind the movement. Its support for this accusation is not very compelling, however, as it mostly focuses on the coverage of independent different media outlets, one of which appears to be a Hong Kong-based online publication. zerohedge/news/2014-10-12/china-claims-us-behind-hong-kong-protests
